Bought a New 2012 in August, 2013. MSRP $50,000. Saved $14,000. Was also looking at the 2013 SantaFe XL but there was no comparison for the price. Veracruz hands down.This purchase was a no-brainer. I was absolutely surprised how good a vehicle it is. If you really investigate the components of the Veracruz you will realize that Hyundai put dollars into research & development money. Even though the outside exterior is a little boring, the Interior design and materials are upscale. Even though it is the same vehicle since introduced in 2007 there have been upgrades each year. Fit and finish is great inside and out. Hyundai did miss on some options like Power Mirrors, Reverse Camera etc. As I had the Alpine Navigation I just added the Alpine Reverse Camera and 9 inch Headrest DVD player, monitors. Monitors $220 vs. $1200 for the Flip down Monitor from Hyundai. The 3.8 liter engine has to be one the quietest smoothest engines I have ever owned and I have owned allot of cars. Fairly peppy even though 30 less HP then SantaFe but Torque starts at a lower RPM so really not much difference. The AWD is awesome in the winter. Mostly FWD but engages RWD when needed. There are still a few new 2012's sitting at dealer's. Save your self thousands and find one. You won't be sorry.
